[Costume Design / Motion Picture] Charles LeMaire (1897-1985) A manuscript Christmas card sent to Milton Krasner, the cover hand decorated with a wash sketch of a fashionable young woman, styled as a silver Christmas tree, opening to reveal the illustrated message 'Happy Holidays, Bee Bee and Charles Le Maire', 21.5 x 14 cm Charles LeMaire was an American costume designer who started off his career on Broadway in the early 20th Century. By 1925 he had turned his hand to the silver screen, where he designed lavishly spectacular gowns suitable to the roaring 20s, and Hollywood's putative Golden Decade of the 1930s. He became the Executive Designer and Chief of Wardrobe for Zanuck at 20th Century Fox, and was instrumental in persuading the Academy Awards to institute a Costume Design Oscar. In a career spanning 37 years and 300 films, LeMaire won four Academy Awards for his work, and received 17 nominations, including an Oscar for the costumes worn by Marilyn Monroe in 'All About Eve' (1950). While his dresses for Jennifer Jones in 'Love is a Many Splendored Thing' (1955) made such an impact that Parisian dress designers omitted the waist from their creations for years to follow. In 1981 in an interview with The Times, twenty-years after 'Tender is the Night' (1962), his final film, he recalled the days when Joan Collins and Marilyn Monroe would borrow studio gowns for social occasions because they couldn't afford their own clothes. Near the end of his career he campaigned for paving stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to be awarded for wardrobe designers. In the 1960s he moved to New Mexico from where he painted, and his work has been in the Los Angeles County Art Museum, and homes and galleries throughout the West. He passed away in 1985, aged 88.
